Claude E. Shannon Award

The Claude E. Shannon Award of the IEEE Information Theory Society was created to honor consistent and profound contributions to the field of information theory. Each Shannon Award winner is expected to present a Shannon Lecture at the following IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory.[1] It is a prestigious prize in information theory, covering technical contributions at the intersection of mathematics, communication engineering, and theoretical computer science.

Recipients

The following people have received the Claude E. Shannon Award:[2]

gollark: Is this based on chars or bytes?
gollark: ```java public static String normaliseLabel( String label ) { if( label == null ) return null; int length = Math.min( 32, label.length() ); StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder( length ); for( int i = 0; i < length; i++ ) { char c = label.charAt( i ); if( (c >= ' ' && c <= '~') || (c >= 161 && c <= 172) || (c >= 174 && c <= 255) ) { builder.append( c ); } else { builder.append( '?' ); } } return builder.toString();}```
gollark: It doesn't seem to be.
gollark: Also, what are the restrictions on them? I ask because I want to use this as an insane serial protocol.
gollark: <@237328509234708481> What is the max length of labels?
